Mike was absolutely fantastic and so knowledgable about medieval Exeter & more. Even though it poured down his enthusiasm was never dampened & I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all he shared on the 90+ minute walking tour. What a real treat to learn so much en-route. And free too. Thanks very much Mike & Exeter City council! Glad my son's...

Robert was our guide for the 1 hour tour. He knew his stuff, was interesting and very approachable.

And all this for free.
Very good hour spent, and will go again.

These are free tours organised by the local council, given by well trained, enthusiastic volunteers. The first trip was at night, Ghosts and Legends by a lovely guide, Ann. All manner of spookey stories were related mainly with some basis of truth, ending with a skeleton (or 2) in the cellar of a pub. We also did an excellent daytime...

Enjoyed a tour of the Heart of Exeter today with Robert. He is an excellent guide full of historical information and great stories. Highly recommended. Multiple tours are available. Wish we had more time for others.
